    Riding Mower advise

    Yikes! I'd go nuts if it took me that long to do my 2-1/2 acres, which I can do in 45 minutes on my Ferris IS2600Z. But for those who enjoy a leisurely ride have at it .....

    Riding Mower advise

    a couple of pictures of the property you're maintaining would be very helpful to help determine what may or may not be a practical machine for the job, i.e. is the lot level or grades & smooth or rough, trees, etc. Aside from that, I'd start by looking at the Z320R ZTrak, better seat w/armrests...

    ahhhh, the good ol' WWW; hmmm, while there are many good tutorials and video's showing how to do tasks correctly sadly there are too many that are BS and cause more problems than they solve. As Dirty Harry might say, "I man has to know his limitations....."

    Portable and standby generators

    I have a Makita G4101R - 4K generator that I have stand-by ready - winter, spring, summer, or fall. Power outages know no season, and refrigerators need power sooner in the summer than winter. So, I fire up it up at least bi-monthly. Just turn the fuel on long enough to start and run about 5...

    Looks like gremlins are creeping back into this site.

    being a poster who felt a while ago that this site was suffering and needed to be put down and end its suffering, I have to now say that it has apparently seen the light and has been given renewed life. No issues observed here of late ..... yippee!

    Oil filter

    Now you've gone and done it..... some years ago, I was passing by a Monroe Muffler shop it dawned on me my oil was overdue on the 2-year-old Jeep I was driving, and since their lot was almost empty I "thought" I could get in and out quick. Well, I got in immediately; but, 45 minutes later my...

    Oil filter

    interestingly, my JD x585 has a drip tray that the engineers designed to catch the bit of oil that spills out when replacing the filter. It's also nice hold JD has a flexible drain tube, so you can direct the oil flow into a container, and not all over the machine or floor. If they can do it...

    Switching to longer blades?

    I only posted those to show that the blades cut minute clippings and didn't leave rows of mulch or strips of high grass. The grass was still very damp, and the wind was almost blowing me off the machine. The cut is consistently level and even, and this whole area is our leach field, so I don't...

    Switching to longer blades?

    I hear you.... since this problem seems to have started immediately upon getting this unit, and other customers have had/are having the same issue it seems this is an inherent manufacturing deficiency... time to trade the dang thing in for a decent machine!

    Switching to longer blades?

    Hmmmmm, well imagine that . . . . . Cons & Common Complaints Cut Quality: Some reviews indicate that the mower may leave "stragglers" or doesn't cut evenly in very tall or thick grass, potentially requiring a second pass

    Soft or Pneumatic tires for a lawn boy 10550?

    Uhmmm, I'd guess that softer tires will just cause you to scalp the dickens out of the lawn. Maybe try aerating on a rainy day and then rolling it to level things a bit . . . . . jmo

    Switching to longer blades?

    I've used Oregon G6's on a Gravely XL2148ZT, JD 345, JD 585, and now my Ferris IS2600 and never had a bad cutting or build up under the deck. That includes cutting 12"+ deep wet stuff . . . . .

    Switching to longer blades?

    if the blades are not level that can cause air flow disruption and weird cutting issues - Google can be your friend too..... A "lawn mohawk" is typically caused by improper mowing, such as dull blades, uneven mower decks, mowing too fast, or excessive grass length. The blades are either torn...
